Well I've done better... Fine flavor, but I think I forgot that with the meat-piercing tenderizer, the 8-minutes per side should have been 6.5, maybe 7... I like more pink in the middle than I got. I guess I could have cut the rest time too, but that's just wrong....

So, at $6.67 per pound, it can give a real flank steak a run for its money.

All that typed, the neighbors are ready for me to do it again. But those assholes want ribs! Yeah, THAT'S cheap!

I put Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), Teriyaki sauce (1/4 cup), Dale's Steak seasoning (4Tbsp), a little A-1 (2 Tbps), and ginger powder (1 tsp).. The magic, IMO, is the vacuum marinader.... Twenty minutes in that gem and the marinade is sucked to the middle of the meat...

That sounds interesting. Might have to try that. The only steak the family likes marinated is flank or sirloin. I've tried several things, but the family favorite is the simplest one of all. 3/4 C Soy sauce, 1/2 C ketchup, 1 1/2T peanut oil, and 1 t onion powder.

Do you have a vacuum marinator? If not, it's off to Cabellas or Bass Pro for you young man... I'm telling you, 20 minutes is about all you'll ever need, and cuts down on the amount of marinade you need too.

And I agree, the onion is never a bad addition, I just forgot this time...

And if you don't have a blade tenderizer, it too should be on your list...
